In this paper, we show that the density in energy of Lipschitz functions in a Sobolev space $N^{1,p}(X)$ holds for all $p\in [1,\infty)$ whenever the space $X$ is complete and separable and the measure is Radon and finite on balls.…
We show that capacity can be computed with locally Lipschitz functions in locally complete and separable metric spaces. Further, we show that if $(X,d,\mu)$ is a locally complete and separable metric measure space, then continuous functions…
In this paper, we study the critical Sobolev embeddings $W^{1,p(x)}(\Omega)\subset L^{p^*(x)}(\Omega)$ for variable exponent Sobolev spaces from the point of view of the $\Gamma$-convergence. More precisely we determine the $\Gamma$-limit…
The nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation NLSE(p, \beta), -iu_t=-u_{xx}+\beta | u|^{p-2} u=0, arises from a Hamiltonian on infinite-dimensional phase space \Lp^2(\mT). For p\leq 6, Bourgain (Comm. Math. Phys. 166 (1994), 1--26) has shown that…
In this paper, we investigate the minimization problem : $$ \inf_{ \displaystyle{\begin{array}{lll} u \in H_0^1(\Omega), v \in H_0^1(\Omega),\\ \quad \| u \|_{L^{q}} =1, \quad \| v \|_{L^{q}} = 1 \end{array}}} \left[ \frac{1}{2}…
The usual Sobolev inequality in $\mathbb{R}^N$, asserts that $\|\nabla u\|_{L^p(\mathbb{R}^N)} \geq \mathcal{S}\|u\|_{L^{p^*}(\mathbb{R}^N)}$ for $1<p<N$ and $p^*=\frac{pN}{N-p}$, with $\mathcal{S}$ being the sharp constant. Based on a…
The classical Hardy inequality holds in Sobolev spaces $W_0^{1,p}$ when $1\le p< N$. In the limiting case where $p=N$, it is known that by adding a logarithmic function to the Hardy potential, some inequality which is called the critical…
This paper is devoted to the description of the lack of compactness of the Sobolev embedding of $H^1(\R^2)$ in the critical Orlicz space ${\cL}(\R^2)$. It turns out that up to cores our result is expressed in terms of the concentration-type…
In prior work, the author has characterized the real numbers $a,b,c$ and $1\leq p,q,r<\infty $ such that the weighted Sobolev space $W_{\{a,b\}}^{(q,p)}(R^{N}\backslash \{0}):=\{u\in L_{loc}^{1}(R^{N}\backslash \{0}):|x|^{\frac{a}{q}}u\in…
We introduce a new ladder of function spaces which is shown to fill in the gap between the weak $L^{p\infty}$ spaces and the larger Morrey spaces, $M^p$. Our motivation for introducing these new spaces, denoted $\V^{pq}$, is to gain a more…
We prove a stability inequality associated to the reverse Sobolev inequality on the sphere $\mathbb S^n$, for the full admissible parameter range $s - \frac{n}{2} \in (0,1) \cup (1,2)$. To implement the classical proof of Bianchi and…
Optimal weighted Sobolev-Lorentz embeddings with homogeneous weights in open convex cones are established, with the exact value of the optimal constant. These embeddings are non-compact, and this paper investigates the structure of their…
Let $n$ be a sufficiently large natural number and let $B$ be an origin-symmetric convex body in $R^n$ in the $\ell$-position, and such that the normed space $(R^n,\|\cdot\|_B)$ admits a $1$-unconditional basis. Then for any…
We develop a systematic study of the interior Sobolev regularity of weak solutions to the mixed local and nonlocal $p$-Laplace equations. To be precise, we show that the weak solution $u$ belongs to $W^{2, p}_\mathrm{loc}$ and even $W^{2,…
We prove uniqueness and stability for the inverse boundary value problem of the two dimensional Schr\"odinger equation. We do not assume the potentials to be continuous or even bounded. Instead, we assume that some of their positive…
Let $\Omega\subset R^n$ be a bounded convex domain with $n\ge2$. Suppose that $A$ is uniformly elliptic and belongs to $W^{1,n}$ when $n\ge 3$ or $W^{1,q}$ for some $q>2$ when $n=2$. For $1<p<\infty$, we build up a global second order…
In our companion paper (S.N. Chandler Wilde, D.P. Hewett, A. Moiola, Sobolev spaces on non-Lipschitz subsets of $\mathbb{R}^n$ with application to boundary integral equations on fractal screens, 2016) we studied a number of different…
We prove a general clustering result for the fractional Sobolev space $W^{s,p}$: whenever the positivity set of a function $u$ in a square has measure bounded from below by a multiple of the cube's volume, and the $W^{s,p}$-seminorm of $u$…
We obtain a critical imbedding and then, concentration-compactness principles for fractional Sobolev spaces with variable exponents. As an application of these results, we obtain the existence of many solutions for a class of critical…
In this paper we estimate the Sobolev embedding constant on general noncompact Lie groups, for sub-Riemannian inhomogeneous Sobolev spaces endowed with a left invariant measure. The bound that we obtain, up to a constant depending only on…
